F#BF#B In she comes a-ridin', on a mornin' sunrise F#BF#B I am left to believing all that is standing before my eyes D#mG#D#mG# And I wonder, Now I wonder BF# Would the sun have shown ever so brightly alone
We been livin' all of our lives on the other side of the hill Drifting on a golden wing, and I can't wait to hear the smile She can sing, She can sing Take me through the day, steal my breath away
F#B And we ride the countryside, take it high and wide, F#B She brings the crackers, cheese and wine D#mG# Oh, they're gonna bust my side
And she's got strawberries comin' by the dozen Brown sugar and sweet cream Set my mouth, set my mouth a-buzzin'
F#BF#B Take my hand and run, take me down to the river blue F#B Throw a whisper to the wind D#mG#D#mG# That all you're sayin' is true, all you're sayin' is true
F#BF#B Ride the countryside, Take me high and wide (repeat and fade)
